Music 1866-1880
The newspaper article that I read was focusing on the winners of a music competition. The performers are divided into different classes, numbered 1-6. This is interesting because music was thought of so differently in those times than we think of it now. Now we can listen to music instantly through our phones but back then they had to go see a live performance to hear music. This is also interesting because in 1873 when this was published, they had to put the winners of a musical competition in newspapers, whereas now, winners of musical competitions, like The Voice are being broadcasted nationwide. I think sometimes it is easy for us to forget the convenience of everything we have now because of technology, so it is interesting to be reminded of the way things used to be done.
